The Participation Age is all about access, built on a model of networked human beings who share, interact, and solve problems, via telephone, Internet, and a myriad of other ways of connecting. Their participation creates ideas, information, opportunities, and value-social and economic-everywhere on the network.

Antwerp Design Seminars

Antwerp Design Seminars & Lectures: From 9 to 5 and Beyond

The Antwerp Design Seminars and Lectures are an annual international event at the Department of Design Sciences. Two programmes are offered: one related to architectural design, the other to integrated product development. Its aims are to stimulate cross boundary thinking in design, and to familiarize students with an interdisciplinary approach to design problems.

The Antwerp Design Seminars and Lectures intend to act as a forum for staff and student exchange on an international level. At the same time it is an informal platform to discuss actual problems related to design education.

The Antwerp Design Seminars and Lectures have a wide ranging scope from research and problem-solving case studies to practical training of specific skills and/or methods. They are directed by eminent visiting professors in collaboration with faculty of both Higher Institutes. This year's theme is 'From 9 to 5 and Beyond', focusing on the work environment in all its aspects.

Welcome From the Directors

The Master of Product Development grew out of our passion for product development. Walter Herbst spent his entire career building Herbst LaZar Bell, the largest privately held design and product development firm in the country. Rich Lueptow started his career in biomedical product development, but joined Northwestern University 16 years ago, enticed by its excellent reputation. We recognized there were many others like us with a passion for product development. But we realized there was no venue for the fine-tuning of product development skills that so many of our colleagues wanted for themselves and for their organizations. Thus, the Master of Product Development program was born at the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.

With our backgrounds in academia and industry and supported by an outstanding corporate advisory board, we have developed an academic program in product development that continues to receive extremely positive reviews. The program has many unique features:

- A curriculum focused on leadership in product development
- An excellent faculty composed of experienced professionals and professors drawn from across Northwestern University
- A convenient two-year part time program
- A hands-on, team-based approach to learning that draws on students' diverse professional and personal backgrounds
- A lifetime learning experience that allows graduates to audit classes for the rest of their lives

We're excited about what has become the premier masters program in the country for product development. If you want to become a leader in product development, the Northwestern University Master of Product Development program will give you the tools, expertise, and confidence to achieve your goals. We invite you to talk to our faculty, staff, students, and alumni to learn for yourself about the exciting opportunities that the Master of Product Development program offers.

Stanford GSB Speech

Create Candor in the Workplace, Says Jack Welch
Video File, 1:03 hour

STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS — According to Jack Welch, companies that develop extraordinary products and services do more than gain market share—they represent the very foundation of society. "Winning companies are the only things that matter—without them, nothing else would work," the former chairman and chief executive officer of General Electric told Dean Robert Joss on April 27.

Welch and Joss chatted before a packed house in Memorial Auditorium about a few of the management insights described in Welch's most recent book, Winning. "My first book was all about me," Welch said, referring to his 2001 New York Times bestseller Straight from the Gut. By contrast, Winning, co-authored with his wife, Suzy, codifies the expertise that Welch has developed and refined over the course of his career—namely, the management philosophies that helped him turn a $13 billion company into a $500 billion enterprise over the course of a 20-year tenure at the helm of General Electric.

A remarkable absence of candor in the workplace represents one of the most significant obstacles to companies' success, he said. "In a bureaucracy, people are afraid to speak out. This type of environment slows you down, and it doesn't improve the workplace." Instead, Welch called for developing a corporate culture that encourages and rewards honest feedback. "You reinforce the behaviors that you reward," he explained. "If you reward candor, you'll get it."
An effective performance appraisal system, he said, relies not only on honest feedback but also on meaningful differentiation among employees. At GE, he put these principles into action by implementing a forced ranking system that divided employees into three distinct segments: the top 20 percent of performers, the middle 70 percent, and the bottom 10 percent. Even though GE's "20-70-10" system—which methodically manages out the bottom 10 percent of employees each year—has always been controversial, Welch emphatically defended it.

Persona

Persona

Scenarios are a natural element of Persona-based
design and development. In Carroll.s words, a
scenario is a story with a setting, agents, or actors who
have goals or objectives, and a plot or sequence of
actions and events. Given that scenarios have "actors"
and Personas come with scenarios, the distinction is in
which comes first, which takes precedence. Actors or
agents in scenario-based design are typically not
defined fully enough to promote generative engagement.

“We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.”—John Ruskin, 1880

“[Users] make their credibility-based decisions about the people or organization behind the site based upon the site's overall visual appeal.”—Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, 2002

“[Users] said they were more likely to believe Web sites that looked professionally designed.”—Stanford Web Credibility Study, 2002

“A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.”—Ben Shneiderman, 2003

“Design is so critical it should be on the agenda of every meeting in every single department.”—Tom Peters, 2003

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”—Hans Hofmann

“The basis for success of [media] products, in addition to their usability and efficiency, is often the potential to arouse.”—Reeves & Naas, 1999

Sample outlines, including mind maps for Visual Thinking, Systems Thinking, and Creative Thinking

http://www.ideachampions.com/culture_of_innovation.shtml
http://www.ideachampions.com/creating_coi.shtml

Faced with the ongoing challenge of growing your business and maintaining its role as an industry leader, at least a few of your in-house visionaries and business leaders are committed to exploring ways of making innovation a day-to-day reality. Clearly, there is no magic pill for accomplishing this noble goal. Advocating it is one thing. Making it happen is quite another. Long-standing ways will need to be challenged — as will collective assumptions, mindsets, silos and outdated ways of doing business. Clearly, the bar will need to be raised for trust, communication, teamwork, experimentation and the willingness to learn from mistakes. People will need to enter into new kinds of dialogues and debates. But it can happen. Indeed, it must happen — that is, if you are serious about closing the gap between rhetoric and reality. And Idea Champions can help.

Culture:
"The sum total of values, norms, assumptions, beliefs and ways of living built up by a group of people and transmitted from one generation to another."

Innovation:
"The adoption of a new practice, process, or paradigm by a community — not just a new product or service.
"Adapting, adjusting, or altering that which already exists for the purpose of adding value."

Creativity: "To cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or would not exist via ordinary processes. Resulting from originality of thought."
